Those episodes are typically available on both HBO Now and HBO Go within 24 hours of the original broadcast.

Read now: Game of Thrones season 8: When it starts, schedule and how to stream HBO without cableWhat are they, and what do they do? The short answer: If you can watch HBO already via your cable, satellite or cord-cutter live TV subscription, you’ll use the HBO Go app to stream those shows on other devices like your phone, tablet or another TV.If you can’t watch HBO already through an existing TV provider, you’ll use the HBO Now app for streaming. Looking for more details? Here’s the longer answer. (Disclosure: CNET may get a share of revenue from the purchase of services featured on this page.)HBO Go: Free with HBO from a provider HBO Launched in 2010, HBO Go is a separate free app that’s designed for cable, satellite and live TV streaming service subscribers who already get HBO’s channel(s) as part a TV subscription. To use it you’ll need to sign in to the app (or “authenticate”) using the user name and password provided by your cable, satellite or live TV service. Access to the app is tied into your main TV subscription, so if your TV subscription doesn’t include HBO, you can’t use HBO Go.HBO Now: $15 per month HBO Launched in 2015 as a standalone subscription independent of your cable or live TV streaming service, HBO Now costs $15 per month. To watch, you can sign in to the HBO Now app or go to hbonow.com.A subscription to HBO Now works just like Netflix, Hulu or any other pay TV streaming service.

Download AudioSince the start of the year, Anchorage has seen eight homicides and a spate of shootings. Today, officials say the incidents in Alaska’s largest city is a spike, but not an overall rise in violent crime. The press conference at City Hall was, just hours after a stabbing victim was pronounced dead following an early morning dispute. The pronouncement is at odds with a widespread concerns over public safety.While the Anchorage Police Department can’t point to any one cause, Deputy Chief Myron Fanning says in his 23 years on the force he’s seen waves of violent crime like this before.“Occasionally you’ll have a spike, and sometimes we’re able to identify the reasons, and sometimes not,” Fanning said.A task force assembled in February made up of federal, state, and local agencies has made 26 arrests, and solved all but one of the recent homicide cases, Fanning said. In the process they’ve seized hard drugs like heroin and methamphetamine, 40 illegal guns, and $35,000 in cash. But Fanning says while there are similarities in the homicide cases, they aren’t connected by any pattern.“I mean, like I said, they’re all high-risk type lifestyles that they’re involved in–they all are either associated with drugs or alcohol,” Fanning said. “But I don’t know why last January we had two, and this January we had four, I don’t know, it just happens sometimes like that.”Fanning said the task force continues investigating January’s double homicide in East Anchorage.Mayor Dan Sullivan echoed the high profile crimes being a blip rather than an upward trend. Looking at the data, Sullivan said, it’s important to not miss the forest for the trees, as Anchorage’s five-year average for major crimes continues to fall.“There’s fewer crimes reported now than there were 30 years ago when we were 120,000 people fewer in this city,” he said. “2014, for example, we saw the lowest number of murders in 20 years in Anchorage. And we always caution folks when they see a spike in one activity or another that it doesn’t really mean Anchorage has somehow become more dangerous. We look at trends, and the trends are very good.”That is a hard sell when concerns over public safety are emerging as the biggest political issue in this year’s mayor’s race. Sullivan’s approach to staffing levels at APD has been controversial. Two years-worth of academies canceled during his tenure to curb spending have meant a smaller force. During a recent forum on public safety all eight candidates in attendance agreed on the need for more police officers, though details on paying for them remain hazy.What you do with those officers is a trickier question. Sullivan said it is inaccurate to assume more police necessarily leads to less crime.In fact, he said the numbers prove you can have an effective force by just apportioning man-hours differently. According to Fanning, a combination of flex time and using local partnerships helped the police department quickly make arrests without racking up overtime hours. What’s less clear in the numbers is whether the resources are there to proactively have police out in Anchorage’s neighborhoods before violence occurs.

The Sealaska Heritage Institute unveiled its new structure in downtown Juneau on Friday. It’s called the Walter Soboleff Building after the late Tlingit scholar, elder and religious leader. Inside stands a full-sized replica of a traditional red cedar clan house.Download Audio:Singers in front of the newly unveiled artwork on the clan house (Photo by David Purdy/KTOO)At the opening ceremony, the Aangun Yatx’i dance in their regalia in front of the Walter Soboleff building.Davina Cole is the arts assistant here. She clutches her four-month-old baby girl tightly to her chest.“We’re Yanyeidí from the T’aaku Kwáan area. We’re little wolves. She’s my baby pup,” she says.Cole says she’s looking forward to what the Soboleff Building will offer her daughter. They’ve already gone to a Baby Raven Readsclass before the grand opening. It teaches pre-literacy through Native stories.“So even right now she’s benefiting from the center because it’s going to be really good for her to be surrounded by that and even have a place to go and learn that,” she says.The building is a museum for Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian artifacts, a space for cultural ceremonies and it houses a gift shop. The building is part of an initiative to turn Juneau into the Northwest Native arts capital. But designing a space that could serve all those functions and reflect the past was difficult.“When we got the responses, the designs were all very traditional,” Rosita Worl says.Worl is the president of Sealaska Heritage Institute and a Tlingit from the Eagle moiety. She says the Native artist committee wanted a structure that was more “traditionally inspired.”“They don’t like the word ‘contemporary,’” she says.A large crowd gathered in front of the Soboleff Building listen to a series of speakers (Photo by David Purdy/KTOO)SHI sifted through submissions and picked architect Paul Voelckers’. The design was influenced by the form of ceremonial clan houses with chunky beams of yellow cedar. It has an open feel and a wall of glass at the entrance.“I will tell you that we made the right decision in selecting Paul. It might not have even been the lowest bid. But we all said we got to go with him,” she says.Voelckers is the president of MRV Architects. The firm’s founder Linn Forrest Sr. specialized in totem pole and clan house reconstruction.“The firm has sort of tried to maintain that legacy of involvement in the cultural design issues from Southeast ever since,” Voelckers says.Most recently, MRV worked on a clan house in Kasaan. For the Walter Soboleff Building, Voelckers looked at old photos of clan villages. Some were covered in moss from age.“But it would have the angles of the house. You know, the big massive beams on the front. And sometimes the old house post inside. That became the essential element that was left in these villages. And so what we tried to do in the new design was capture some of that heavy framework,” he says.The basement level floor houses the research lab and mechanical room. The whole building is heated using wood pellets.“It simply flows down like grain or something,” he says.The building was designed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s gold standard for energy efficiency. The wood pellets come mostly from the Sealaska Corp. land on Prince of Wales Island. Rosita Worl says that’s part of keeping the core cultural values in the design.“Haa Aani: our relationship to the land,” she says.On the main floor is a full-sized replica of a clan house. It can seat 300 people and fits with tradition: pitched roof, windowless and built with adzed red cedar. The floor is tiered with sunken-in seating. Worl says she knew it would a special place.“But what we hadn’t counted on, what I hadn’t thought about was this almost sacred feeling that you get when you go into that clan house.”Worl says she has a strong connection to her ancestors.“And it was almost like they were saying to us, ‘Rosita, you know you’re talking about being progressive, you want to move into the 21st century.’ It almost became like their space and they said, ‘This is where we are.’”At the the Walter Soboleff’s closing ceremony, the clan house was given the name Shuká Hít.Canoe coming in to dock (Photo by David Purdy/KTOO)

NEW YORK: Two Indian-origin Canadian nationals have been charged on various counts in a bitcoin fraud case where they used social media platform Twitter to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of virtual money in their accounts.

Bitcoin is a digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. According to the indictment, beginning in October 2017 and continuing until August 2018, the defendants used a fraudulent Twitter account with the name @HitBTCAssist to trick the victim into thinking they were communicating with a customer service representative from HitBTC, a Hong Kong-based online platform used to exchange virtual currency.

Using the Twitter account, the defendants responded to the Oregon victim’s questions about withdrawing virtual currency from her HitBTC account. They convinced the victim to send information they could use to log on and take over her email, HitBTC and Kraken accounts. Advertise With Us Kraken is a US-based online platform that offers services similar to HitBTC. The defendants initiated transfers of 23.2 bitcoins from the victim’s HitBTC account to Karanjit’s Kraken account who in turn transferred approximately 11.6 in stolen bitcoins to Jagroop’s Kraken account. The stolen bitcoins have an estimated present value of approximately USD 233,220. In July this year, Karanjit was arrested upon arrival at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. Jagroop, however, remains at large.
